This month, our church family has welcomed a new worship song into our gatherings, “Feet of Jesus” by The McClures and David Funk. From its very first lines, this song carries a beautiful and deeply biblical invitation: to bring everything we are and everything we are searching for to one place, the feet of Jesus. The song opens with a stunning reminder …
At the foundational level, missions is the effort to lead people far from God to know and follow Christ. Biblically, every local church is called to be sold out to this effort.

Money is a promise that I have given up something of value now for the promise that I can receive something of value later. In that sense money …
